Tear up leaves, removing hard stems. Put on the cookie sheet, drizzle with olive oil and gently rub/massage the leaves. Sprinkle with salt. I used Kosher Salt.
Bake in preheated to 350 F oven for total of 15 min, turning them once with long thongs.
They are going to be paper dry, crunchy and delish!

Dyeing Fiber.
And the last project - dyeing commercial natural colored yarn with avocado peels.
I have heard about this method and wanted to try.
We eat avocados quite often and those peels were collecting fast.

Part of them I dried, part froze. Even saved some seeds.
That is how you get a dyestuff or tea -
Two weeks before dying, I crashed and diced them and simmered in Crockpot every day, for an hour or so - this prevents the tea from spoiling and intensifies the dyestuff strengths .
When tea looked good to me, I drained the liquid and discarded the peels.

Here is the yarn,
I had two skeins of it.

I used Niddy-Noddy to wind my yarn in hanks.
Soaked it in warm water with a little of Synthrapol and Alum salt. Squeezed the water out and placed in the Crockpot. Yarn was crowded. I don't mind that.
Simmered it for an hour and let cool in the pot.

Washed and dried.
It looks pretty - delicate pink, orange and beige colors.
I have to admit that dry weight of yarn was bigger than dry weight of avocado peels.
That's not the best ratio and my yarn turned out to be a bit on a pale side.
No biggie, just not what I hoped for. I really wanted to get dusty pink color. Alas.
The colors came out a little uneven and I like this effect!

And my disappointment.
I had a bag of Samoyed dog fiber for a few years now.
It was ready to spin. So I thought. When I checked it out it looked funny.
Fibers felt sticky and as I pull them out of a bag, created this long ribbons. I washed a bit of it to see if I can help it. After it was dry I realized - it was awfully matted.
The fiber was felted on one side. Kinda like a rug.
So I kissed it goodbye.
